The Blue Mage Raised by Dragons

Book 6: Chapter 122

Kim Hajun stood at the entrance to a mess hall. His gaze swept across the interior of the building before he took a step inside. Although the food here wasnt as good as a restaurants meal, it was cheap, nutritious, and right next to a wooden tablet. It was also one of the better places to gather a wide-range of general information for free. He could play an information guild for the latest rumors thatve been spread, but some things were better discovered by himself. Kim Hajun got on the line for food and focused on listening. As he concentrated, the jumble of noise in the hall was reduced to individual sentences.

Extra rice just for you.

Everyone knows jellyfish are the superior animal.

The Extreme Heat Clan is wild. Do you think theyre still taking applications?

Even if they were, they wouldnt even take a second look at yours. I bet theyll recruit explorers only.

Kim Hajuns face remained expressionless as he advanced down the line. The Extreme Heat Clan was standing out? It wasnt time for that yet, the Oebu Sin havent even made their presence known. In that case, Vurs group mustve done something to ruin the current timeline once again. Perhaps Tafel was the culprit this time; after all, Kim Hajun had seen her refining orichalcum with her bare hands. Her hands manipulated her flames, so it was technically the truth.

I cant believe the lords were beaten senseless by one guy.

Hey, dont say it out loud. You know how prideful those elemental guild members are. If they hear you, theyll pick a fight.

Kim Hajun fumbled the tray he had just picked up, barely snatching it with his fingers to stabilize it just in time. He took in a deep breath through his nose and brought the tray closer to his body. There was something weird amongst the sentences he had just heard. The lords were beaten senseless by one guy? Impossible, right? Kim Hajun walked along the line and pointed at the food items he wanted: rice, fried tofu, and fried chicken wings. Three bowls were placed on his tray, and he grabbed his utensils before heading in the direction of the person speaking nonsense.

Even if an elemental guild member is here, do you think theyd really pick a fight in the mess hall after their bosses had their asses kicked? You need to chill, fam.

Kim Hajun placed his tray on the table beside the man who had just spoken, causing him and his friend to flinch. Kim Hajun took a seat and turned his head towards the startled man. You said something about the lords being defeated?

The man cleared his throat and scanned Kim Hajun from top to bottom. When the lack of a guild crest became apparent, the man exhaled and patted his chest. You startled me, dude, he said. But, yeah, havent you heard? The lords all gathered on the fifth floor, and then they were beaten senseless by a dragon.

The lords were all gathered? Kim Hajun asked. Why?

Who knows whats in those guys brains? the man said and shrugged. Maybe they were planning on blowing up the tower or something. Its not important why they were gathered but what happened after.

You said a dragon beat them senseless?

Exactly, the man said and used his chopsticks to take one of Kim Hajuns pieces of fried tofu. He popped it into his mouth and chewed while speaking. Dont ask me why because I dont know, but they mustve provoked a dragon or something, and it beat the snot out of them. The Flame Lord summoned huge tornados made of fire, but the dragon sneezed, and the tornados disappeared. The Shadow Lord tried to sneak behind the dragon, but it farted and blew him away.

Kim Hajun stared at the man. He had all the makings of an unreliable narrator, but the things he mentioned did seem possible if Vur was the dragon involved. Did you witness this yourself?

Of course, the man said and took another piece of Kim Hajuns fried tofu. You should get some sauce for this. He waved the tofu around before stuffing it into his mouth. I was coming back from a day of hard mining to train my ore-collecting skills, and I happened to witness the epic battleif you could call it thatwith my own eyes. Are you doubting me after being shameless enough to sit next to me and demand the info I risked my life for for free?

Kim Hajun resisted the urge to punch the man reaching for another one of his fried tofu slices. I wasnt doubting you, Kim Hajun said. Its just really unbelievable. The lords are the strongest people in the tower, and they couldnt defeat one dragon while working together?

It happened, the man said and shrugged, a small piece of tofu falling out of his mouth as he spoke. He brushed it off his lap, causing the piece to land on Kim Hajuns shoe. You can ask anyone in the tower. It didnt happen too long ago, just a couple of hours, but I guarantee everyone will know about it within a few days. Anyway, let me continue my story. Where was I? Right, after the Shadow Lord was defeated by a fart, the Water Lord created a bubble of water around himself, but the dragon controlled the Water Lords water, and the Water Lord drowned in his own defensive skill.

Kim Hajuns face twitched.

The Earth Lord also lost control of his own skills, and he was eaten by the ground, the man said and clicked his tongue a few times as if he were disappointed in the Earth Lord. The Martial Lord worked together with the Frost Lord and the Lightning Lord, but the dragon defeated them all with a single slap. He even annihilated the Martial Lords soul. Man, you shouldve seen it. It was incredible.

What about the Light Lord? Kim Hajun asked and clenched his hand. Was she there?

Yeah, she was there, yeah, the man said and nodded twice. She and the Wind Lord, they were so impressed by the dragon that they surrendered and joined his clan without a fight. The man exhaled and snatched another piece of Kim Hajuns tofu. If only I were a dragon, that couldve been me up there.
